Chairman Williams stated Ms.
Chamberlain would like to know how this affects the property next to her, Block
473.12, Lot 16.01 the Dura Carb manufacturing building.Stated he thought the stronger issue is the
two lots in between Ms. Chamberlain?s property and the old A&P property.

Mr. Benecke stated that is correct.

Chairman Williams stated that Dura
Carb is a working concern.

Mr. Benecke stated it is a working
concern that is partially doormat.This
property is limited in expansion due to the Highland Act.The issue here is to have the municipal property
which is zoned for Office and Affordable Housing being married with Dura Carb
property to have more flexibility within the Highlands and to try to match that
with any future redevelopment of the old A&P property.

Question from the audience asking if
the town opt into the Highlands Plan.

Ms. Hartmann stated that a
resolution has been passed that we intend to and it is a state requirement to opt
into the Highlands in the preservation area.The planning area is the only area where we can choose not to opt into
the Highlands Master Plan.For the
Council of Affordable Housingpurposes
passed a resolution in December saying that intended to opt in to the Highlands
Master Plan.

Block 198, Lot 5.

Mr. Benecke stated this was
determined to be developable.

Chief

approve the adopted 2009 redevelopment.Vice-Chairman Mitchko seconded the
motion.

Ms.
Hartmann stated this is a lot line adjustment application to convey
approximately 12? x 144? strip of property from one to the other in the R-30
Zone District.These are undersized lots
and no additional building is proposed.Existing Lot 4 is a through lot of 19,570 square feet containing a one
story single family residence.The existing
Lot 5 is a corner lot consisting of 23,689 square feet and contains a 1 ½ story
single family residence.The conveying
of this property will result in Lot 4 being reduced to 17,857 square feet and
Lot 5 will increase to 25,421 square feet.

Ms.
Lipala stated we are the owners of both lots.The side property line of Lot 4 & 5 is on an angle.The house on Lot 5 is also set on an angle
which creates a side yard setback of 4.6? and with this lot line adjustment would
change the setback to 16.6?.After the lot
line adjustment the house on Lot 4 would have a side yard setback of 23.5?.
